Stuggling to find what is draining my battery
I had a similar problem and this is how Eman85 and others helped me solve it" Eman said: "Quick hack, put a test light between the neg battery terminal and the negative battery cable and see if the light comes on. It must be an incandescent type test light. If the light comes on dim or bright...- Tall T

Step to get in pickup truck
Why not make a short ladder that is hinged to the right INSIDE top side of the tailgate so that when you open the tailgate the ladder can be lifted and swung toward the ground. You'll still be able to hang on to your post. It could even be wooden. If you know where to look, short ladders are...- Tall T

Chevy 216 and 235
Does anyone know if the rocker shaft assembly on a 216 is identical in specs to that of a 235? One of the tappets (rocker arms) on my 235 has an indent in it the size of the valve stem it taps . . . so I can't get an accurate adjustment on that one. I have just that one clicking tappet that...- Tall T

OT gas can flakes
I couldn't get your link to work but here's my trusty CLUTHE funnel that I've had for 50 years. It came with 3 or 4 different sized mesh, snap in screens. Sometimes a coarse mesh is in order like for straining out old paint bits of skin. One is super fine for gas. Tt P.S. I might have known...- Tall T

OT gas can flakes
What I do for similar situations is to put a cone shaped auto paint filter into a funnel held in by clothespins or whatever and whatever you fill from that can, run it through that strainer.- Tall T

Front Pulley Nut
Something else worth a shot (?) Use a small length of flat bar . . . clean up the slot and drive it into the slot. Then weld both sides of that flat bar. Easier to get a good weld than with a nut. Then use something like another bar that you can zip-cut a tight slot into, to slip over that to...- Tall T

Front Pulley Nut
The trick when using the chisel method, is to only use a sharp-ish chisel to create a purchase point for a very dull chisel or punch so you don't chew up what slot you have to start with. Have the chisel force you're applying conform with the curve that the head has to travel as you strike the...- Tall T

Chevy 216 and 235
My first rebuild was a late 1953 235. In late '53 the 235 cu in went to a full pressure 48 psi oil pressure . . . no more 16 lbs of pressure and no more dippers on the connecting rod caps and no more channels in the oil pan for the dippers to scoop up oil. Something extremely important about...- Tall T

8n Oil Canister Leaks
I have a box of saved saved big round canister gaskets, new or used, because you never know what will come with the filter you buy. I have a big fat canister on my '51 Chev that used to be called a C21 now they are calling it a C4. anyway, the WIX filters I use in it now always come with the...- Tall T

1940 Ford 9n backfiring
"adjusted all the way out" seems vague. (?) The point plate would be moving closer to the cam; i.e., IN for the points to be opening. Are you saying that if you put the point arm's cam follower on a cam high point the points still do not open? that plastic piece would have to be worn away to...- Tall T

Chevy 216 and 235
I couldn't see "edit" so I'm using "reply" I meant to say that one rocker arm has a pocket in it the size of a valve stem and I need to replace or resurface it. Actually I've always referred to the rocker arms as "tappets" because they TAP the valve stems. Lifters, which many call tappets, are...- Tall T

Chev Truck Serial Number Value
It took me way too long (or too late) to clue in to the value of a '47 to '54 truck serial number. I had a 1947 Chev 3/4 ton flat deck in the 80's that I drove every day for several years. when I bought the 1951 Aluminum Chevy van that I drive now, I towed it home twenty miles from Victoria...- Tall T

8N fender brackets for mounting lights
If t'were me I wouldn't bend the bracket because that would put the light mounting base off square to the ground. so if you wanted to redirect the light beam by turning the light, your adjustment would deviate from the straight side to side directional adjustment of the beam.

I'm buying it: 1951 Ford 8N
Hmmm . . . Could that explain the many reported broken bendix's which has always been a mystery to me since joining this forum. As mentioned, in my 6 volt van I power the starter with a 12 volt but because I engage and retract the bendix manually that solenoid force is eliminated. I cut a slot...- Tall T
